00:00 >> Have you met with the Red?
00:03 >> I have no team.
00:04 My mom is a Cowboys fan, so it was always in my household.
00:07 My stepdad is anti-Cowboys, he's a Tom Brady fan, so
00:10 you know how that relationship kind of went when we watched different games.
00:14 >> Do you have any form over them?
00:16 >> No, sir.
00:17 >> No, sir.
00:17 >> Do you have any form over them?
00:18 >> No, sir.
00:19 >> [INAUDIBLE]
00:23 >> I learned, I turned my ACL in 2021,
00:25 my sophomore year I learned that I can overcome anything and don't take a playoff.
00:30 Can't take it for granted because you never know when it's your last snap.
00:33 So that's what I learned by thinking of a cliche,
00:36 and the cliche actually came in reality for me, but it just put me in a different mindset.
00:39 So me turning my tape is never a complaint that I'm not 100% or
00:42 I'm not playing off of potential.
00:44 >> Have you?
00:44 >> Had a meal with him yesterday.
00:46 >> [INAUDIBLE]
00:48 >> You work out here or work at home?
00:51 >> Here.
00:51 >> Here?
00:52 >> Yes, sir.
00:52 >> And from that?
00:53 >> Yes, sir.
00:54 >> Have you met with the Raiders yet and what are your thoughts on the organization?
00:56 >> I met with the Raiders, we talked a little bit about our scheme and
00:59 how they run things.
01:00 Great coach, great goals, all my friends have been great.
01:03 So I don't wanna talk about giving nobody a higher praise than others, but
01:06 they're all been amazing for me.
01:07 And they're teaching me things also as a player.
01:10 >> Have you talked to the Houston Texans while you're here?
01:12 >> Yes, sir. I talked to them yesterday.
01:13 >> Is that a form?
01:15 >> Yes, sir.
01:15 Yesterday I had 10, the day before I had 12.
01:19 >> What was it like talking with Tamiko Riots about the way they would play defense?
01:23 >> I could tell he was a physical player.
01:24 I've seen the people he just drafted, CJ Stroup and Anderson.
01:28 So I know what type of player he was and I feel like I've seen things before.
01:31 >> How would you describe your teammate, Darius Robinson?
01:33 >> Darius Robinson, he's the ultimate hype man.
01:35 We call him a big bear.
01:36 If Darius is in the room with us right now,
01:39 you can identify him immediately by his smile.
01:41 He's a big teddy bear, but on the field he's very fierce.
01:44 He's a leader, a competitor, and I feel like he's really the best in this draft,
01:47 to be honest with you.
01:48 >> Enos, have you met with the San Francisco 49ers?
01:50 I'm gonna try to meet with them today.
01:53 >> Today. >> I've got a couple of appointments.
